I first discovered this franchise with Sahara, I loved it, but finished it, so I found the two other free Legends games, loved them, and finished them. I still kept on playing over and over though, even after getting three stars on every track... So I finally broke down and rummaged through my couch cushions to purchase Legends 2, assuming that it would be a little more lengthy in the career mode.
I am not disappointed.
To begin, like the other Legends games, the game is beautiful- great graphics, real time damage, graceful physics, and colorful changing backgrounds. If that were all, I would still love it. But on top of that, the gameplay is intuitive, responsive, and challenging. I have to try several times to get three stars sometimes, but I succeed. That's the key to a good mobile game- it should challenge, but not anger the player. This one features a neat rewards system too- pick up little badges to earn parts to new vehicles. Getting to them on some levels adds an extra challenge!
I couldn't wait to finish this game before writing a review, so I hope that I'm not disappointed later in the career. But at this point, I'm not sure what these guys could do to disappoint me. It's just the best side scroll driving game ever made for the App Store. Indeed, it is probably one of the best games, period.
Thanks for helping me waste hour upon hour, Dogbyte! I can't wait for Legends 3!
